State Ranks High
In Poultry Sales
By tailoring their products to
consumer preferences, Texas
poultrymen produced more than
$130,000,000 in poultry products
last year to rank fourth among
the 48 states in setting up a
record-breaking national total of
$3,071,000,000, it was pointed out
today by Howard C. Pierce, na-
tional poultry research director
of A & P Food Stores.
“Whenever a commodity shows
a jump in sales, it is always
the result of consumer choice,
and poultry is no exception to
the rule,” said Pierce, “as 90
years of food retailing have re-
peatedly demonstrated in our
company.
“The public definitely wants
chickens with more meat in pro-
portion to bone,” he said. ‘We
relayed this preference to the
poultry industry and since 1946,
the A & P has backed the
Chicken-of-Tomorrow campaign
to produce such chickens.
“Now in its fourth year, the
drive is producing 12-week-old
birds that weigh up to four and
five pounds instead of the form-
er two or three—and twenty
million of these meatier chick-
ens are going to market this
year.”
Citing Department of Agricul-
ture figures, Pierce showed that
the fastest-growing branch of
poultry, is commercial broiler
production which has leaped up-
ward 31 per cent since the drive
began in 1946 to produce better
broilers.
The extra meat poundage is
playing a large part in the
growth of over-all poultry in-
come, Pierce added, giving the
Department of Agriculture tabu-
lations on top-ranking states.
In millions of dollars, the poul-
try earnings of the ten leading
states last year were as fol-
lows: Pennsylvania, $202; Cali-
fornia, $196; New York, $162;
Texas, $131,; Illinois, $130; New
Jersey, $99; Virginia, $81; Mary-
land, $72; Delaware, $67; and
Massachusetts, $65.

The use of the power-driven
cotton harvester stripper-type as
an efficient method Tor harvest-
ing cotton on the Texas High
Plains has been increasing, but
to insure best harvest results,
and a consistently good grade,
growers must either use a
chemical defoliant to drop the
leaves from the cotton plant or
wait for “mother nature” to take
them off with frost, says D. L.
Jones, superintendent, Lubbock
Experiment Station.
Jones and E. L. Thaxton, Jr.,
junior agronomist at the Lub-
bock Station, report that normal-
ly, the more mature a plant is,
the easier it is to defoliate if
it is still active. The Texas High
Plains has an extremely short
growing season, consequently
plant maturity at the time of
defoliation is one of the limit-
ing factors.
“Thpv have found that plant
activity is of equal importance,
'they say the plants, by fall, in
subhumid area, often have
used up the available soil mois-
ture and are under great stress.
This affects the time required for
complete leaf drop. In the
more humid area, 6 to 10 days
is usually required, while on
the High Plains 2 to 3 weeks
should be allowed. This in-
activity on the part of the plant
makes defoliation difficult.
The tough, leathery leaf de-
veloped by the cotton plants on
the High Plains is another factor
to be considered. This type of
leaf develops as a result of
the late summer drouths and
hot, dry winds.
Low humidity and dewless
nights are often encountered at
the time the cotton plants should
be defoliated and since mois-
ture is required to activate many
of the dusts used, satisfactory
results are not obtained.
In 1948, the best defoliation
was obtained from the use of
monosodium cyanamid. It was
used as a spray at the rate of
20 pounds per acre in 12.5 gal-
lons of water. This type of de-
foliation was not entirely sat-
isfactory because the leaves be-
came dry and brittle before drop-
ping, and a large percentage
of the growing plant tips were
damaged by the caustic solution.
Jones and Thaxton say the
most encouraging test was with
the use of wetting agents in the
spray solution. On one-acre test
blocks, mono-sodium cyanamid,
sprayed at 15 pounds per acre
with 1 percent Vatsol, gave al-
most as good defoliation as the
same material sprayed at the
rate of 20 pounds per acre with
no wetting agent. The defolia-
tion was 70 and 80 per cent
rpenppti vel v
Results from the 1948 tests
indicate that in drouthy years
when no dew is present good
defoliation requires the use o’
a spray material. The experi
mental mono-sodium cyanamid
compound gave the best results.
The use of a wetting agent
in the spray material to im-
prove coverage and penetration
showed good results in 1948.
Previous work done at the
Lubbock Station has shown that
excellent defoliation is possible
with the use of aero cyanamid
dust, special grade, when ap-
plied at the rate of 30-35 pounds
per acre when persistent dews
occur and the cotton plant
still active.
The defoliation materials used
in the 1948 tests were applied to
the cotton on September 18, Oc-
tober 1 and October 27.
